Where We Are Now

Do you ever think back to what you thought you'd be as a child, a teenager, young adult? How different my life is than I expected it to be and yet how I can see the hand of God guiding me each step of the way. How surprising to be here in some ways and in other ways how could I be anywhere else? What is also amazing to me is that I don't have to look back on childhood thoughts, teenage dreams, or college aspirations to be surprised where we are.

This is my family less than five years ago.

Look at all the pink, the orderliness, the femininity. If you had told me then that in five short years we'd be expecting the arrival of a FOURTH son and have another sweet girl in that mix, I'm not sure I would've believed you.

Still, here we are weeks away from the birth of another little boy. My house is littered with cars, trucks, trains, and countless airplanes. Unfortunately I don't have a recent family picture. Hopefully that will be remedied with Easter, but here is one of my favorite pictures of my boys.

The days are long, but the years are short...

I tell myself there are memories of my children I will never forget - and there are. There are also so many little day-to-day things that I do forget, or I forget how important they seemed, or the way they made me feel. This blog is to remind me of those little things.

About Me

I am a Catholic, SAH, homeschooling mom. I have six beautiful children, two through adoption. We also have many little ones in heaven praying for us. I have an amazing husband who tolerates my college football and coffee obsessions, he even cooks and mops the floor.
I am also blessed with a great extended family and good friends.
